Chapter 635: In Front of the Ant Nest
"Hello, Senior Ji Xing, I am Bokuer, a professional hunter. These are my companions Peng Si and Bata. According to the order of President Nitro, I am here to take you into the territory of the NGL Autonomous Country."
"Thanks for your hard work."
"No, it's not hard! We don't have the ability to fight on the front line, so we naturally have to do a good job in logistics!"
Looking up at Ji Xing, Baoku'er and the three of them had expressions of excitement and admiration.
For them, the recent experience has been nothing short of exciting. More than half a month ago, when he was banned from entering the NGL autonomous country, he met and got to know one-star biological hunter Kate. Later, he learned that Kate was different from them and came for the giant chimera ants that may exist in the NGL autonomous country. Er decided to wait here with Kate.
During this period, they received guidance, their strength improved rapidly, and Peng Si also successfully mastered Nian Bu Shuo. The subsequent development of events made them even more enlightened.
Not only did he meet President Netero, he also had the opportunity to enter the outskirts of the NGL Autonomous Country and see the ferocity and power of the chimera ants, and now he met Ji Xing. Unlike Mo Laowu and Nobu brought by Kate and President Netero, Ji Xing, who destroyed the Phantom Troupe and took the position of the general owner of the Sky Arena without a fight, is a well-known figure.
To put it bluntly, Ji Xing is far more worthy of being chased than that bad old man Nitro!
Inviting Ji Xing to get in the car, the three of them peeked at Ji Xing several times with happy expressions, as if they had finally seen him alive. It wasn't until Ji Xing's eyes looked back that Bokuer's expression softened slightly, he stopped his silly expression, became serious, and began to report business to Ji Xing.
"Senior Ji Xing, according to our incomplete statistics, the number of people killed in NGL Autonomous Country since the chimera ant incident has reached more than 60% of the total domestic population, including King Zailo and all his soldiers. NGL Autonomous Country The state structure has completely collapsed."
This is indeed a serious topic. Although the NGL Autonomous Country is only a small country, it has a population of more than 2.1 million. In other words, the number of humans killed by chimera ants has exceeded 1.2 million!
One million is a shuddering number. Even in wars between countries in this era, it is rare to lose this number, not to mention that most of these people have become food for ants!
"Fortunately among the misfortunes, the use of any technological products is not allowed in NGL, and the mode of transportation is still traditional horseback riding. Even though 60% of the population was lost, most of the remaining 40% of the population remained as they were, and no riots were caused."
Bakugo continued: "Under the hunting of Chairman Nitro and others, the chimera ants have been completely suppressed and returned to the ant nest, and they dare not go out. The remaining NGL citizens are safe and are just waiting for sufficient reinforcements. We We can launch a general attack.”
After finishing speaking, he raised his face slightly and looked at Ji Xing, are you...'enough reinforcement'?
Ji Xing smiled and said, "Want to watch the battle?"
"Of course I do!" Baokuer's eyes lit up, and Peng Si also stepped forward slightly in surprise.
But after a brief pause, Bakuer shook his head proactively: "But I still won't go. We can't cause trouble to you seniors."
"oh?"
"Actually... I've been very lucky recently. If it hadn't been for the fact that the United Nations blocked the NGL Autonomous Country in order to track down mercenaries, and we rushed in to investigate biological anomalies, we wouldn't have dared to encounter chimera ants. Imagine.”
"Are you scared?" Ji Xing asked.
"Afraid, why not?" Baokuer nodded lightly: "Not only are I afraid that I will be in danger, but I am also afraid that Bata, and even more... Pengsi will be in danger."
"Bakukuer..." After saying that, the boy and the girl looked at each other affectionately, adding a bit of dog food smell to the car. Then they met Ji Xing's smiling eyes, and they smiled sheepishly, synchronized. The rate was 100%.
"Soldier ants, soldier captains, and division commanders. I can only deal with soldier ants. I can't even deal with more than three at the same time. I can't even imagine how strong they are with the direct guards and the ant king who are stronger than them."
Bakuer, who truly realized his own shortcomings, said slowly: "I'm still far behind, and... although I'm very reluctant, I knew from the difficulty in learning that I'm not a genius. Maybe The talent is not even average.”
"You are still young. It is very precious to be able to understand and admit your shortcomings at this age." Ji Xing smiled and said: "It is even more valuable if you don't mean to give up in your words. What are your plans next?"
Bakuer and Pengsi looked at each other: "After the things here are over, we will find a place that is not too dangerous for us to work hard to improve ourselves. In two years, when we are more mature, we can continue our work. adventure!"
"If there is no better choice, go to the Sky Arena." Ji Xing nodded and said: "That's a good place. Don't use my name when you go, find a woman named Piyana, she will take care of you. Training you. Is your idea related to bows and arrows? She is a very suitable teacher for you."
Baku was startled, then overjoyed: "Yes, I understand! Thank you, Senior Ji Xing!"
"Thank you, senior!" Pengsi hurriedly followed, and the young couple looked at each other with innocent smiles.
"You deserve it." Ji Xing smiled and said, "I've seen some dirty things recently, and now that I see you two, it's like washing my eyes."
The two looked at each other and smiled stupidly in return.
Bata, who has absolutely no talent for reading: "..."
Both of them? Then I leave?
He couldn't leave because he was the driver.
After a while, the car drove through the embassy and checkpoint on the canal unimpeded and entered the territory of the NGL Autonomous Region.
After driving on the yellow dirt road for more than ten kilometers, it passed two empty and dilapidated villages. The few wisps of dirt and slight rotten smell on the ground could not be hidden from Ji Xing. It was not difficult to see that something tragic had happened here.
The car finally stopped in front of a slope.
"Senior Ji Xing, the car can't go on the next road. You can see the ant nest about 30 kilometers ahead in the south direction. You should meet President Netero and others waiting for you there five or six kilometers before that."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Baokul stood at attention in front of Ji Xing: "It's not hard! Senior Ji Xing, please be careful! I look forward to your victorious return with President Netero and others!"
Ji Xing waved to the three people, turned and walked towards the ant nest, gradually speeding up his pace. In just a few seconds, he disappeared from the sight of the three people.
"We are so lucky, Peng Si."
The young couple's hands naturally pulled together, smiled at each other, happy and sweet.
…
“Oh? Haha, finally here.”
Netero, who was hanging upside down on the tree and playing with his head down, laughed and jumped down nimbly like an old monkey.
Not far away, Kate, Mo Laowu and Nob, who were taking turns to observe the ant nest with telescopes, looked sideways.
Have we arrived? The powerful man with many legends who shot down Vice President Pariston at the Twelve Zodiacs Assembly!
There are not many people who have not heard of Ji Xing’s name now, and even this name has gradually become as loud as the legendary hunter Netero.
They looked back, but they didn’t see anyone, only a shadow. It seemed that something came with the wind, crossed the steep slope in an instant, made the grass fall in the same direction, and transformed into a human figure and stood beside Netero!
‘So fast! ’
“You are so slow.” Netero complained: “If you had rushed here immediately after the meeting of the twelve branches, you should have arrived by this time the day before yesterday. Where did you go?”
“I went to play.” Ji Xing said: “You are allowed to play, but I am not allowed to play around?”
“Some people are unwilling to play with an old man like me.” Netero seemed to complain: “The situation of the journey to the west was beyond my expectations. It’s a pity. I thought I could use the ‘president’s oath’ to have a good fight with you.”
“It’s not time yet.” Ji Xing smiled: “There are still many messes waiting for you to clean up.”
Netero’s old face suddenly became sad.
"Alas, you are too bold--" As if unwilling to mention these troubles, Netero quickly waved to the side: "Come, let me introduce you..."
"Why do I need to introduce you, President." Mo Laowu shook his head and interrupted: "It's better to introduce us to Ji Xing's Twelve Branches. Hello, I am Mo Laowu."
"Nob."
"Kate."
Ji Xing nodded to the three people and said: "Hello, what's the situation now? Have you seen the ant king?"
"No, the ant king is not born yet." Kate's voice is capable and her appearance is very trustworthy. She said: "Based on the habits of the chimera ants, it will take at least one month before the ant king is born."
"But we saw one of the ant king's direct guards, an ant in the form of a cat man." Mo Laowu added: "Although he looks as pretty as a girl, his aura... is so evil that I have never seen it before!"
"Maybe he is stronger than me." Netero chuckled twice: "This really makes me look forward to the ant king. What about you, Ji Xing."
"It turns out that he is not born yet." Ji Xing shook his head and said, "I'm looking forward to it too. But I'm looking forward to it, now that I'm here, I can't just wait here for a month to wait for the ant king to be born. If there's any setbacks, I'll be dumbfounded."
"I agree with you, but please forgive me for being blunt, Ji Xing's Twelve Branches." Nob pushed his glasses and said, "According to our judgment, the food in the ant nest is only enough for the ants to survive for ten days at most.
For the sake of safety, we should wait for ten days, force the ants to act, and weaken the ants' strength in the same way as before. After all, we don't know what the current situation in the ant nest is.
Even if you can deal with the cat-man, there are three direct guards of the ant king of the Chimera Ant Clan. We can't be sure whether the other two direct guards have been born or what their strength is. It would be risky to launch a general attack rashly."
"Hehehe..." Netero couldn't help but laugh a few more times: "Ji Xing, it seems that these little guys have to see what level the world's strongest Nen user can have."
The world... the strongest?
Netero often said that among the current Nen users, at least five of them are better than him. Over time, those five have been called the five great Nen users. However, Netero has never given or cannot give an accurate judgment on the strength of each other, or even who is the best among the five.
Now he calls the man in front of him the strongest? !
Nob could not hide his surprise, Mo Laowu and Kate also had strange looks in their eyes, while Ji Xing just looked in the direction of the ant nest and nodded: "Let me see, say hello to the Chimera Ants."
A faint breath attached to his body.
…
Meanwhile, in the ant nest.
Accompanied by the pleasant sound of violin, Neferpitou was flipping through books with great interest.
At the end of a song, a book was just finished, and the young man leaning against the wall with golden hair, two antennae on his forehead, and dressed like a stage pianist with a noble atmosphere asked: "Are those books so attractive to you, Peter?"
His name is Owl Yapfu, and he is the second direct guard of the ant king. He is at the same level as the 'cat girl' Neferpido, and the two are naturally companions.
Faced with Poof's question, Neferpido raised his head, showing two sharp teeth like tiger teeth in his smile, and said: "Very interesting, meow, Poof. It's not the books that are interesting, but the humans who are interesting.
Just like now, those humans with special abilities think that they can continue to weaken our strength by trapping us in the nest and exhausting our food reserves, meow, but they don't know that because of sufficient nutritional supplements, the ant king only needs about 10 days to be successfully born, and the food is enough.
In human books, there is a very accurate word to describe this strategy, called 'turning the tables', and they use this strategy in various places meow."
The right index finger gently tapped on his lips, and Neferpido smiled with a sense of fun: "But don't worry, a situation like ours is also called 'information gap', and they can't find it."
"Are you so interested in the information obtained from the man who was eaten by the queen before, Petto." Owl Yapfu smiled.
"Hmm~" Neferpitou's ruby-like eyes flickered: "Different countries, different nationalities, different customs, different cultures, it's obviously the same race but they have developed all kinds of different things, it's really strange, I really want to see it with my own eyes."
Puff shook his head: "Don't forget our duties."
"Of course, protecting the king is our only duty." Neferpitou said: "But humans are excellent food. Even if the king rules the world, there is no way to keep them all in captivity, right? Then they have to manage themselves."
"That will be very troublesome."
"Of course, meow, pigs and sheep will also struggle when they are slaughtered by humans." Neferpitou raised a finger and shook it: "That's why we need to have a full understanding first, this is called 'know yourself and know the enemy' meow."
She read the next book with interest, and Owl Yapfu chuckled and started playing the violin again.
Really different, our personalities. Mengtutu Yupi should be born in the next two days, I wonder what kind of guy he will be.
Gently shaking his head, playing the piano, the melodious piano sounded, the atmosphere was peaceful, until...
"Zheng!!!"
"Meow?!!"
The sound of the broken strings and the shrill cat cry exploded at the same time. Pufu saw the catwoman in front of him jump up instantly, half-bending her body, showing her claws, and the white hair on her head exploded. The cat tail that was originally swinging back and forth naturally behind her was like being electrocuted, standing straight up like a stick, and the hair on it also exploded into a mess!
"Ka Ka Ka Ka... Ka Ka Ka..."
This is the sound of teeth chattering and biting, which is a state that cats occasionally show when they encounter prey and show ferocity. The ruby-like eyes turned scarlet!
But Pufu didn't think Neferpido overreacted at all. With cold sweat hanging on his forehead, his eyes widened: "What is this...?"
The air around him was as sticky as water.
What suddenly spread over was a breath that did not contain any malice but was so strong that it made his heart skip a few beats. It was a pure and powerful breath!
He had to admit in his heart that at that moment, he had two thoughts that he shouldn't have: 'The King is born?'
'Will the King be so powerful? ! '
No! The King will definitely be more powerful than this, he was born to rule the whole world!
But... the King is not born yet.
"Is this a human?!"
At the same time, the soldier ants in the entire ant nest almost lost their ability to move, and they wanted to kneel down and worship. The captain of the ant nest trembled, and the division commanders could not hide their panic.
"What is it? Is the King born early?"
"More than Neferpido-sama..."
The anger was like a tide, washing and announcing to the ant nest in waves!
